VICTORY!!





I bought a pry bar and tried the technique of hitting down on it but it didn't seem to be doing anything. I was also soaking it in PB Blaster. After I became frustrated with the prybar, I just started hammering onto the lobe itself lol. That didn't seem to do anything either so I sat back in frustration and just stared at it. That's when I noticed it had actually turned a tiny bit and looked crooked so I kept hammering and it came out. You can kinda see in the picture the lobes are flattened out. Thank you Razi for suggesting the method. Unfortunately I also flattened the bolt hole on the actual knuckle a little bit so I'm gonna have to deal with that now but whatever.

As stated in a previous post, the axle nut had already been removed and yes I had the axle removed also. But even if it wasn't, the axle isn't the reason it wasn't coming out. It has insignificant resistance compared to the hub being rusted in.
